How to support
You can support AsyncAPI (part of Linux Foundation) by contributing to repositories, helping with community discussions, and supporting the initiative financially through Open Collective. Community support in the form of mentorship, onboarding help, and contributor guidance also plays an important role in sustaining the ecosystem.

A small brief about your project
AsyncAPI — part of the Linux Foundation — is an open source initiative focused on building specifications, tooling, and documentation for event-driven architectures. It helps developers design, document, and manage asynchronous APIs and event-driven systems consistently across different technologies and platforms.
One FOSS maintainer lesson for your younger self
Sustainable open source is less about doing everything yourself and more about building processes, trust, and contributor ownership early.
Why do you do it? Why do you bother maintaining a FOSS project?
Open source gave me opportunities to learn, collaborate, and grow alongside people from around the world. Maintaining projects is my way of giving back while helping create better developer experiences and healthier contributor communities.

Which file in your project would you most like to set on fire?
There is no such file I want to delete. If there were, it would already be gone rather than waiting around. Instead of deleting, I would say we need to keep improving our documentation. For example, a few docs still have broken links after a recent restructuring, and we are actively working on them.
What's your open-source villain origin story?
Realizing contributor coordination sometimes takes more time than solving the problem yourself
